Hi
we have a final hearing next month. i sent my full bundle over by date agreed , but my ex [ not married], sent over her statement which said , i agree to all CAFCASS said last November [last time i saw my daughter], and i do not want this man in my daughter;s life and to have no responsibility about her schooling welfare etc
with a 50/50 parental responsibility can she insist on this?
She can state whatever she wants, however, it's for CAFCASS to advise the court and for court to decide based on what is best for the Child and any potential risk to the child.
You will need to put forward your argument in court why you being in the childs life is in the best interests of your child....child's right to a free from control access to both parents is part of their human rights.
when you are in court always refer to your child as "our child" or childs name....if like mine your ex will always use "my child" or "my son/daughter"
wishes and feelings of a child come in to play dependant on age, maturity and their understanding.
hi dave,
so Cafcass did S7 report? what did they recommend?
